"Plenty of ripe, fresh fruit in this red, with flavors of black cherries, blackberries and plums, along with accents of toast and coffee. Yet it remains smooth and graceful on the palate, with well-integrated tannins and a long, fruity finish.[Top 100: 1999, Rank: 70]"

Spain has the largest area under vine of any country and a deep tradition of oak-aged reds. Tempranillo-based wines from Rioja and Ribera del Duero, alongside Priorat's Garnacha and Carinena, anchor its fine-wine reputation.
A rugged Catalan region whose steep llicorella slate slopes produce dense, mineral Garnacha and Carinena. Low yields and old vines give wines of great intensity and concentration.
One of only two wines with Spain's top DOQ status, yielding dense, mineral Garnacha and Carinena from steep slate slopes.
